with teammates Joakim Noah and Al Horford announced at the championship pep rally that they would be returning for their junior seasons.[5] On April 5, 2007 Brewer chose to enter the NBA draft. Brewer was selected seventh overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2007 NBA Draft. Corey Brewer has expressed interest in developing his shooting and ball handling skills, as well as adding muscle to his frame in the off season. He has been described by some as having the potential to be a great defender in the NBA, and has often been called upon by the Timberwolves to guard the opposing teams best wing player. Brewer recorded the first triple-double in University of Florida basketball history on 18 December 2005 posting 15 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists (the 13 assists were the most by a Gator since Jason Williams had a UF-record 17 in 1997). He also drew six charges on the defensive end that game. Due to the retirement of the #2 jersey in Minnesota worn by the deceased Malik Sealy, Brewer expressed the desire to sport the #22 instead. He officially adopted the #22 for the season’s summer leagues, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
